A galvanic cell is constructed as follows. One half cell consists of a platinum wire immersed in a solution containing 1.00 M Sn2+ and 1.00 M Sn4+. The other half-cell has a thallium rod immersed in a solution of 1.00 M Tl+. (a) Write the half-cell reactions and the overall reaction (include states of matter). (b) What is the equilibrium constant at 25 deg C? (standard emf Tl+/Tl = -0.34 V) (c) What is the cell voltage if the Tl+ concentration is increased 10-fold?
